For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
USA nukes good Iran having them bad. That's the global narrative driven by the country threatening to nuke Iran.
Threatening war crimes again, eh?
Part of his 100 point plan for distracting from the Epstein files.
All you had to do is not do the stupid blockade, Iran at that point was ready to open the damn strait, ships were going through. Now we 'll have stupid pointless escalations because fuck the global trade
All he had to do was not shred the Iran deal we already had in place (and was working) because it was negotiated and put into effect under a president who was black.
Too many people seem to forget about this...
That's like 95% of the reason he shredded it. Same reason he claims he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, outright hates ACA, and did everything he could to undo literally everything Obama did.
Exactly the same reason he cut the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, which was Obama's defense when H7N9 broke out. Then COVID came and no response group
When there’s eventually a deal with Iran, it’s not going to be as good as the one we already had with them but he’s going to say it’s the best deal ever and his base won’t know any better. It’s such a stupid time we live in.
All you had to do is not do the damn blockade, DJ!
Once you're doing warcrimes weekly they just let you get away with raping kids apparently
Or vice versa
A negative times a negative.
This is that elementary school bully that walks up to a kid and punches them because they think it's funny, but when the kid punches back the bully goes crying straight to the teacher.
This train wreck is as painful to watch as a B horror movie.
This numbnut is walking into an obvious trap. They're baiting major assets of the USN using ratty little fast boats.
Now that they're in striking range, their defense have to be lucky every single day, multiple times per day. If the Iranians are lucky once, they destroy billions of dollars in hardware, get major bragging rights, and thousands of GI families at home get to look up the lyrics to "Fortunate Son."
Content warning: needless uninvited pedantry ahead
Trump acts like a toddler. And any parent can tell you that predicting the inevitably dumb behavior of your toddler isn't rocket science.
He's so predictably stupid and selfish that most of the time, everyone else but him knows what he's doing. It's a fun meme but I think the reality is the opposite.
More like the “shart of war”
I know it's a joke, but people who don't know what they are doing are relatively easy to predict.
This will ensure that all countries will develop nukes otherwise they will be defenseless against nuke owning states.
Ukraine has already shown the whole world this
In other words, the Cheeto will murder a bunch more innocent children and then taco the fuck out
, leaving all the ships still stranded except for the 14 that the USA somehow sank by mistake. Oopsie Daisy!
sounds like 14 ships that are no longer stranded, an absolute win! MURICA!
I really hope Americans have learned something from this and that is to not elect demented pedophiles to be presidents FUCKING TWICE, third time's the charm right? right?? And while everyone else is trying to deescalate the situation he and his "top" officials are trying to make it as difficult as possible to reach a peaceful solution.
come on now you think the yanks have learned something? they haven't learned a thing for decades. Did they learn anything after Reagan? Bush Senior? Bush Jr twice? you honestly expect them to figure it out NOW?
A good percentage of the US population would elect Satan himself as long as he was "sticking it to the liberals."
Satan as in Lucifer? The light bringer? The symbol of knowledge and enlightened thought? That Satan?
Would be way better than what we have right now.
Please lose the midterms and get dragged out of office, it would be so funny
Honestly even if Congress is swept by Democrats, I would be completely unsurprised if the controlled opposition faction of the DNC (read: the vast majority of them) does nothing at all due to how diViSiVE it would be. And even if they do, the Tribunal of Six will probably try to declare impeachment unconstitutional or something like that.
The leftist candidates that have been winning these various special elections by double-digit spreads over highly-favored right-wing candidates are not dems, they're progressives. Same label, very different flavor.
And I am totally here for that. It's been fun watching them quietly form a party within the party.
Iran should take this seriously, I heard from Bill that Donald does a mean blowie.
TACO
Well it is Tuesday.
What exactly does he think "closed" means?
The same thing he thinks women and children's closed legs means.
Again?! Isn't Iran supposed to be vaporized three times over by now?
So are we at war or not? Last week he said the war was over because there was a cease fire in place. Then, over the weekend, when asked about gas prices, he said they’d drop immediately “after the war was over.” So which is it, donnie? Make up your mind, you brainless pos.
I wish the press would collectively start talking to him this way at conferences. Word for word. 😂
Trump has become Kim Jong Un at this point.
"We're going to blow up everything! Just you watch!"
Let me tell you, Don... They're not listening to you. No one is listening to you. Laughing at you maybe, but no one is seriously paying attention to your late night war mongering ramblings.
Feckless feculence mainly resides at the Florida Blight House whilst Kegsbreath Kevin prosecutes their war crimes against humanity in the Caribbean, the Middle East & elsewhere, draining the USA of resources once utilized to care for our friends, families & neighbors in our various communities.
He couldnt even successfully escort ships for 2 days. And he is not able to keep those ships supplied. How is he going to threaten iran with much of anything? What are we going to do, bleed on them?
